Rish Outcast 19: The Key Collector
April 05, 2015 17:47This was an episode that was recorded a long time ago (I know, I know, they all are), and it was supposed to go up before Christmas. But what the heck, there's not time like the president, right? This one presents a recent short called "The Key Collector. I entered a contest where you had to write a story based on a photo of a bank of keys on a wall. They were not hotel keys, we were told, so I wrote this story. Needless to say, I was not the winner.

The Podcast That Dares Not Speak Its Name 9: "...Comedy Is Hard"

Can I keep on a single topic for more than five minutes?* And what does Fake Sean Connery think? If you've ever wanted a glimpse inside my head, here it is. You've been warned.
